Sex and Intimacy- Sexual Attraction

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RpykuhypD_Y

In this video clip I was interested in seeing what attracted males and females to the opposite sex. As mentioned, it seems as if women take more into consideration opposed to males. Maybe I'm biased because I am a woman, but I believe that males seem do take physical attractiveness more serious than women. Honestly, when I first meet somebody I do take their looks into consideration. However, physical only plays a small role in what I look for in a man. I would never date someone completely unattractive, but I am so much more of a personality person.
My friends and family have frequently told me in the past "you can do so much better" and this goes along with dating someone who has the same number as you. The video we watched this week talks about 10's dating 10's and so on. Sometimes, I don't really find that to be true. I've seen many of my friends and family date people who I really do not find to be equal with them on a number scale. But then again, they could be more into different qualities, such as myself. I would be more concerned about dating someone who has an awesome personality and can make me laugh, or support me. I know of many people in my life who have dated someone SOLELY for looks and it always ends badly.
In the video I posted a woman said she can tell in the first 5 minutes whether it'd work out or not. I do have to agree with that. My last boyfriend I knew right away that we would be together as soon as I met him. Although it didn't work out for us, I knew he was someone that was my type just because of his personality and the way he came off to me right when we met. After going over that number scale of importance in a mate, it really made me think of what I tend to look for in a mate. I found looks to be not as important as many of the other qualities and it really makes me see what I find important and attractive when it comes down to a longterm relationship.
